2. Intro to Technology/Engineering
4 steps of EDP:
EDP Taco Party

3. Intended Benefit & Unintended Consequence
UC - outcomes that are not the ones foreseen and intended by a purposeful action.
Could you have an Unintended benefit?
IB - something purposely done to help people do things
Could you have an intended consequence?

4. Top 10 Inventions That Changed The World
Top 10 Inventions Thought Up By Kids
Top 5 Future Technology Inventions

5. Tech & Eng Notes T/E.1: How to test a prototype?
T/E.2: Was the EDP correctly applied?
T/E.3: What’s the diff btwn intended benefits & unintended consequences?
T/E.4: What’s the diff btwn an adaptive & an assistive device?

6. Tech
EDP
used to solve problems & make life easier
created by EDP
“engineering design process”

7. Steps of EDP (“ISIE”):
1. Identify the Problem
2. Solution Design
3. Implementation &
Testing
4. Evaluate
has to be a need or want
research, brainstorm several solutions, risks & benefits, drawings
create prototype & test it
Improvements? Successful

8. Unintended consequences: how ppl’s needs are met or helped
Intended Benefits:
Unintended consequences:
(Vehicles developed years ago benefited millions – Pollution to Earth)
how ppl’s needs are met or helped
effect of tech AFTER created & used

9. Bioengineering is…
use the science of living things to create new tech
Medical: tools, treat diseases, help with disabilities
Ag: improve crops (disease resistant, taste better, herbicides)
Biofuels: ethanol

10. Assistive – created SPECIFICALLY to help ppl
Other EDP tech:
Assistive – created SPECIFICALLY to help ppl
ex. crutches, hearing aid
Adaptive – already created but CHANGED to help ppl
ex. Braille keyboard

11. EDP Practice
Write each statement & name the step of the EDP in which it belongs.
1. A prototype is created & tested on a computer.
2. Improvements? Meet need? Successful? Low risks?
3. A need or problem has been discovered.
4. Research on costs & materials, risks & benefits analyzed, drawings, how will it work?

12. KNOWLEDGE:
What is the difference between an adaptive & an assistive device?

13. JJ: Write the step of the EDP that each describes.
1. make & test prototype
2. decide that technology can solve a problem
3. brainstorm, make drawings, research
4. what should be improved? What worked?
